For the week September 4 – September 10
I’d like to officially thank John Boehner for asking the President to push his speech back one day. By doing so he shined the spotlight on the mass insanity currently running for the Republican nomination. The contrast after tomorrow night is going to be so stark and so obvious that one or both of the Koch brothers may wind up voting for Obama.

I find it quite interesting that the same guy who threw around accusations of Nazism at bwd decided without hesitation that a random nasty tweet by one of POTUS’ millions upon millions of supporters means that President Obama is guilty by the most tenuous of associations. I found the tweet uncalled for, and who knows what’s going on with that PAC, but how ironic that Mr. Civil Liberties and the thin-skinned grenade thrower Sirota engage in guilt by association. IMO they can both have a seat. And no, President Obama is not responsible for me saying that either.
Digby is Sister Mary of the Aggrieved, taking the suffering of all progressive malcontents and depressives unto herself so that they no longer suffereth in silence. Her blog posts are almost always Heavy Sighs of Disappointment, especially on the topic of Obama, who is completely beneath her own dignity and progressive purity. She wears a halo and travels through the emoprogosphere on a gilded cloud. It’s religion in the Digbyspace.
In short, you ain’t missing a damn thing.

This. Showers today, tomorrow and the rest of the decade. Many of a torrential nature. Highs. What’s that? Lows are always below freezing. No sun no way no time no how.
Even when Democrats win they lose and Republicans are evil but invincible because Democrats are by and large…well…losers. Victory for our side in the political arena is not allowed.
Lol, she ain’t stupid; to keep up her bullshit after PBO made congress cut a switch for trying to take the big piece of chicken last night would be career suicide. Maxine is an opportunist at heart and she’s not gonna fuck up her checks by taking the Smiley & West dashiki-strewn path out of employment. Better to just make nice, pretend you have influence, and give support. I hope with her newfound free time (‘Cause blacks supporting the President don’t get on the news; no more Meet the Press for you.) she finally does right by her wig and gives it a nice wood box to rest in and a 21 marcel iron salute. Old gal’s earned it.
Erica Raven Branch-Butler This is why it’s so important to get folks to realize that yes, their vote matters. 1 in 5 Americans are now on food stamps. If folks don’t bother to vote– and let the Tea Party end up running this government– there will be *no* food stamps. No unemployment. No Social Security. No medicare.
